Singer Tiwa Savage once again showed why she is more than just a global superstar. While attending the United Nations General Assembly in New York, the “Somebody’s Son” hitmaker created a viral moment after greeting former Vice President Yemi Osinbajo in a way that struck a cultural chord.

In the now-viral clip, Tiwa is seen kneeling slightly as she greeted Osinbajo before taking her seat beside him. The respectful gesture, rooted in Yoruba tradition, quickly caught attention online. Osinbajo responded warmly, smiling as he acknowledged her greeting.

For fans, this was not just another celebrity sighting. It became a conversation about humility, culture, and how Nigerian stars carry themselves on global platforms. Social media platforms lit up with reactions, with many praising Tiwa for staying grounded despite her international fame. One fan wrote on X, “Tiwa Savage just reminded the world that respect is never out of style.” Another added, “She is cultured, confident, and classy — that’s how you represent.”

Beyond the praise, some conversations shifted to how rare it is to see celebrities embrace cultural norms so openly. For others, it was a refreshing reminder that success does not erase identity. The clip has been shared widely not only by Tiwa’s fans but also by cultural enthusiasts who celebrated the blend of tradition and modern stardom.
Tiwa Savage has always made headlines for her bold performances and fashion statements, but this softer moment has become just as memorable. In a setting filled with world leaders, diplomats, and celebrities, her greeting showed a balance of humility and confidence that resonated deeply with Nigerians at home and abroad.
As the video continues to circulate, Tiwa’s simple gesture stands as one of the most talked-about highlights of the UNGA sidelines this year.
